I’ve Learnt…

I’ve learnt that at some point the obvious will always reign supreme, whilst your dreams will fade into oblivion. The bite of reality is far more vicious than its bark. Don’t confuse ambition with dreams…they’re very different in so many ways…passion is what drives ambition…and when I’ve figured out what drives dreams, I’ll be sure to share that bit of useless information as well.

Update: Dreams are inspired by our insecurities…and our insecurities are triggered by our fears of insignificance, incompetence and stupidity. So we seek ways to build defence mechanisms to hide those fears so that no one else sees, and when we feel secure that we have that covered, we start dreaming of having someone close by that will accept us with those shortcomings so that the excessive energy that is expended to maintain those defense mechanisms can finally be focused on romancing someone that sees the beauty of our souls rather than judging our facade. A load of hog wash, I know…but you have to admit, it’s thought provoking…

My blog isn’t a true reflection of who I am. It only reflects some light on the darkness that lurks within me. It reflects my struggles for purpose and understanding. It reflects hints of my passion. It reflects suggestions of who I am and who I yearn to be. But it is not entirely me.

Trials are the easiest distractions from what we should be grateful for, because when we feel burdened, we're inclined to look to those that seem carefree and wish that our lives were like theirs.

Those options are blessings that many others don't have. And perhaps the carefree ones appear that way because they are grateful for their blessings rather than free of burdens. #gratitude#appreciation

Don't mistake pervasive ignorance for collective wisdom. In a time when everyone has easy access to a public platform, it's easy to be caught in the sway of popular opinion. Given the overwhelming failures of society, it's important to realise that the most popular opinions are most often the least informed. There has never before been such a desperate need for critical thinkers because of how horribly we have distorted the meaning of success or happiness, or even sincerity. Think carefully before following the herd. They may be leading you towards the edge of a cliff. P. S. Someone pointed

I think we become fixated on the physical attraction in others when we give up on finding a companion to fill the spaces of our soul. That's when we compromise fulfilment for instant gratification. #love#lust#hope#romance#marriage#companionship

Don't be a sheep. Don't be herded by hate. Don't let ignorance define your contribution to this world. If you're an adult and still lack critical thinking abilities, then you're still a child. Responding emotionally to every threat is a sign of an under investment in your emotional maturity. You owe the world more than that otherwise you're just another consumer. We don't need more consumers. We need more active and conscientious contributors to break this cycle of absolute stupidity that manifests itself as hate and intolerance. If you seeth with anger in the face of anger, you're part of
